About This Item
Chatto and Windus, 1963. First Edition. Trade Paperback. 107 pages. The stage adaptation of Murdoch's 1961 satirical novel of marriage and adultry among the London bourgeoisie. Most likely, this unassuming edition, in plain printed wrappers, was published to coincide with the London stage production, which ran for more than 1000 performances. While later resissues abound on the market, this is one of the scarcest Murdoch first editions. First edition (first printing). Very good in wrappers (paperback). Spine tanned; title and author inked on spine; small previous owner's name inside.
